If you havent played and won ODST,you probably wont know what im talking about.But for those of you who have played,and won the game,in the last level "Costal Highway", Dare drives a cool looking vehicle through the level.A while ago,before ODST came out,I posted a vehicle idea that said:
Posted by:GenerateX3

The Chameleon Tank
A invincible vehicle that looks similar an Elephant but shorter,lengthier,and its covered all around.It is navy blue,and shoots AA Wraith projecttiles through an operable turrent on top of the vehicle;The turrent shoots 2 shots every 3 seconds.The tank itself shoots giant firebombs up in the air and down to its targets.The tank travels a bit faster than a warthog and people can actually get in it by pressing (RB) to open the door and then they get in(not side seat,but just jump in like the elephant).There would also be a roof hatch to enter the top of the vehicle so you can operate the turrent.It would have built in razors on the sides of it so if you get near the side of it,you would get cut.It would have a Camo Meter like the Arbiters in halo 2.When the meter is full,the vehicle can turn invisible and stay invisible until the meter goes down.


Now this Dare's car seems pretty similar to my idea,except for the AA turrent and razors on the side,and the active camo is replaced with shields.But,Dare's vehicle is almost exactly what I visualized the Chameleon Tank would look like.As I played ODST,I watched as this vehicle traveled,and I liked every bit of it.I want that vehicle in reach.And maybe there could be a variant(like warthog,and gauss warthog) where there is a gauss turrent equipped on the top of it.And the variant would have a boost(like the ghost,or chopper).Also,if your close enough,you could open the back hatch and jump in.If your in,you could look up,and open the roof hatch and operate the turrent,or just stand around on top,and you wouldnt fall off.What do you think?Comment.

UPDATE:All my comments say "It's a garbage truck".I just got an idea:The ODSTs and Dare could tell the UNSC of it's effectiveness,and they could make one that looks and acts more like a UNSC vehicle.

THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY AROUND MAKING SENSE IN THE GAME.Maybe it would only be in multiplayer.How else can you explain the golf club in sandbox?

Well.....The ODSTs and Dare could tell the UNSC of it's effectiveness,and they could make one that looks and acts more like a UNSC vehicle.

It's a garbage truck, that's based off the Elephant, they already have a military version.
Actually, the garbage truck is based off the military version so...

The vehicle she drives is called the Oliphant, the civilian garbage truck version of the UNSC Elephant.

I sell Graphic Designs.

If interested, contact me.

You're either dumb, or very retarded. That vehicle is an Garbage truck. And when you said "they could tell the UNSC about its effectivness", there is something you may have heard of...an "ELEPHANT". Alos Halo 3: ODST is set AFTER the battle of Reach.

Read the books.

It's a garbage truck called the Olifant a LOTR reference is their. The design is literally a civilian knockoff. The only reason it was any good is because it was enhanced by the Engineer's shields. Basically its a Elephant without turrets that smells of crap.

Well,to me,it dosent make sense for the UNSC to make a car based off of the truck,that is soooooo slow, and a pain to drive.They should make a slimmer,faster version of the elephant if that's the case(like they make better versions of MJOLNIR armor).

add a horn that says "!%*@ BILL O' REILLY" in Austin Powers' voice, and
I like how if anyone ever says a nice thing about Bungie people think all they want is Recon, and if someone says something bad about Bungie people join with them. And then after they get done bagging on Bungie, they go play the game that Bungie made

Just add an elephant to Reach. /thread

The garbage truck is not made by UNSC. Like I said its a garbage truck based on a transport vehicle not the other way around. If you haven't noticed there are cops what you have suggested is Earth is under military jurisdiction much like Communism this is not the case clearly evidenced by the way people react in the Audio Logs.

Well,the garbage truck,looked more effective than the elephant to me.It,was faster,and had shields.In a battle,I think if the "Olifant" had turrents,and still had shields,it would win in a battle with the elephant.And if not,they should still make a smaller version for stealth missions(your not fooling anybody if you drive an elephant).People easily just climb abord your elephant,and kill you while you drive.They couldnt do that if:
1.There was a door.
2.It was faster.
3.It had shields.
4.It had a turrent.

Even if they didnt make it,they should really consider makeing a better one than the elephant.

your completely retarded. odst 2 weeks after halo 2 and halo 2 was after halo 1 and halo 1 was, from what i understand, going on at the same time as reach in a different place.The vehicle looks like a fully covered elephant that is faster, most likely because it was (im guessing) stripped of anything that is needed in the army, ie guns. Im gonna go with the rest of the people. its a civilian elephant that was made a garbage truck. Another giveaway is it has the "keep it clean" symbol on the side and then a number.your completely retarded. odst 2 weeks after halo 2 and halo 2 was after halo 1 and halo 1 was, from what i understand, going on at the same time as reach in a different place.The vehicle looks like a fully covered elephant that is faster, most likely because it was (im guessing) stripped of anything that is needed in the army, ie guns.

I can see where your coming from but the fact remains a vehicle of that size is a poor choice for stealth. A stealth vehicle would literally be a even quiter warthog the variant from campaign that holds more people instead of a turret. No scratch that the a transport variant of the spectre from Halo 2 would be better suited for stealth missions. your new design is more of and old design is more of a frontline vehicle for punching holes in the enemies defenses. Besides camouflage and shields cancel each other out the shields make the user partially visible making the camo pointless.
